Thanks bud, now I need to figure out which post-nominals I want to use in my email signatures. I try to limit it to three so I don't look too pompous. Wink

I took mine at a test center in Raleigh. They've switched from the large number of questions and use a computer adaptive testing model where questions are assigned difficulty levels. As you keep answering things correctly, you get progressively harder questions. It reaches a maximum of 150 questions and you have a three hour time limit. I finished it in one hour after answering the 100th question. That freaked me out, as I was expecting to get to 150 questions. When I answered the 100th question and the screen popped up telling me to get my score report from the front desk, I thought for sure I had failed. Then when I went up to the front desk, the receptionist had a blank expression on her face and handed me a score report that was folder over. I thought she was saving me from a bad score by folding it over. I was extremely relieved once I opened the report and saw that I had passed!

Congratulations fellow CISSP!

I passed earlier this month and had an almost identical experience. I appreciate the shorter exam, but it is very jarring and nerve-wracking the way the exam just abruptly ends and you're left waiting in suspense for the result wondering whether it ended because you did either really well or really poorly. I was so anxious, I reread the result several l times after unfolding the paper to make sure I actually passed!

My sponsor took almost a week to review my application and (ISC)2 finished their final approval approx. 1 week after that. It's nice to no longer be "provisionally" certified and I hope your review process goes smoothly too!

My sponsor finished my review last night. He didn't need a week because the two of us worked together for most of those years. Now I just need to wait for ISC2 to finish their side of the process.
